How You Can Play to Win When Market Makers Are Calling the Shots / InvestorEducation / Learning to Invest
By: Don_Miller
The American Legion sponsored a carnival every summer when I was a young lad. My dad was a legionnaire, so each year I had a job. Beginning at age 12, I hauled soft drinks and food to the various concession booths well into the night, which probably violated some labor laws.
Dad warned me about the carnival barkers, telling me to never play games where you try to win a giant teddy bear. They were rigged, he said, and no one ever wins—“So don’t waste your money.”

By Andrey Dashkov
If you’re a typical small-time investor, chances are you prefer to let a team of analysts fuss about such irksome things as correlation and beta. Maybe you’ve bought a stock because your brother-in-law gave you a hot tip, maybe you heard something about it on a financial news show, or maybe you just loved the company’s product.

Stocks Portfolio Correlation Based Diversification / InvestorEducation / Learning to Invest
By: Don_Miller
A Guy Leans on a Lamppost… and You Make a Buck
To paraphrase Scottish novelist Andrew Lang, some people use statistics like a drunk uses lampposts—for support rather than illumination. Numbers can be twisted and abused to support false claims, and even correct data is sometimes misinterpreted.
For example, you may often see claims like “an expert opinion poll showed that inflation next year will be 2.65%.” Looks legitimate, right? We have experts and a precise number; what else do we need? Well, there are at least three potential biases at work in this short statement:

By: Submissions
David Parker writes: Given a forex trader’s endless search of his next trading position, the Fibonacci tool falls under the scope of technical analysis and it’s used for the prediction of future price levels. Many technical analysts have considerable respect for its abilities in predicting future rates, and learning how to use Fibonacci numbers may contribute a lot to your forex trading career. However, as it is the case with most technical indicators, this tool is best to be combined with other technical sources and fundamental data for a more holistic feedback on future price movements.

By: Submissions
Pauline Novak-Reich writes: 1. The Square-of-9 is a spiral of consecutive numbers unfolding counterclockwise, in the direction of the Milky Way, hurricanes, whirlpools and all other known spirals in nature.

Shah Gilani writes: Over the past couple of months, I've been sharing with you some tips about how new investors can break into the market. And I think it's the perfect time for our next lesson - looking this time at the inextricable connection between stocks and bonds.
Although I tend to write about the stock market as if it were a singular entity, I'm usually talking about the markets in the plural.

Five Investor Tools to Turn Choppy Stock Markets to Your Advantage / InvestorEducation / Learning to Invest
By: Money_Morning
Back in the late 1990s, my wife was expecting our second daughter and we were really anxious to buy a home.
